Multi-Award-Winning Film Score Composer Hans Zimmer on Cubase | Steinberg Spotlights

Hans Zimmer is the multi-award winning head of the film music division at DreamWorks studios and one of the world’s best known film composers. In this Steinberg Spotlight video, he describes his custom-built studio and his long Cubase history, working on music for movies and embracing the best music software. Composers scoring for film are some of the last now supporting the creation of new orchestral music, so Hans invites you to celebrate Cubase and the way it helps the composer in the orchestral cinema score.

Imagine an internship at Hanz Zimmer's studio...

[chaTzon]

Zimmer : *opens cubase*
Cubase : *sweaty* "i hope im good enough and have enough functions" *full of fear and doubts*

[spkoftdvl]

Just show me Hans composing on Cubase not talking 3 hours about the daw.

[afaydilek]

I dont even use Cubase but when i see Hans Zimmer, i click. Simple as that.

[sole]

You can tell Zimmer is clearly not a salesman and it actually makes for a great video. Respect to Cubase for letting him talk honestly. The fact he loves and uses Cubase speaks for itself and the best DAW for you is the one you're willing to learn.





...Or bribe a mate to teach you

Multi million pound film score icon. Literally has a data centre in his room. Owns a 2003 Microsoft white optical mouse. Legend. !!!

[Uninfluenceable]

at 5:27 you can see that he still uses an IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0 (from the late 90's), what an absolute legend!

[jimsanger]

What I like about Hans (other than his music) is how he always refers to We rather than I and always gives credit to his collaborators

[TheCruisinCrew]

I appreciate the philosophical insights, but I would have liked to see more of his setup and how he actually works with Cubase...

[dinmema]

Hey guys dont get fooled by this advertisment. It does not matter what DAW you use. What matters is your sense of music. Thats on what you have to stay focused. There are also great producers who says Logic is the best. There are also great producers who says Fl Studio is the best. So please focus on music and not which DAW is the best. As i said this is advertisment. Hans was paid for this.

[polter]

Hans Zimmer inadvertently wrote the best marketing slogan for Cubase. "Other programs? Don't even bother."

[alainpatry]

Hans inviting us to buy the upcoming 10.5 version? ;)

[bjorninlalaland]

Some disrespectful motherf**kers in here! Love to hear this giant speak about his experience. 🙇‍♂🙏

"It's the professionals who keep the software from moving forward"
Damn steinberg getting my money for 10 years straight and can't implement Bezier curves in the midi editor.
I love cubase but it didnt really change at all from V5. in the bottom line it looks better and we have side chain but damn it steinberg its time to make cubase more creative !

[MyFeltMusic]

As a former Cubase user, if it at least partly catered to the mobile musician and young producer, it would be more than a niche DAW for composers. The dongle, lack of included content, and price is why Apple is walloping them with Logic Pro X.

[jujufactory]

What the hell is he talking about? 😂😂😂

[amondhawes-khalifa]

I want a feature-length movie scored entirely by him, *using nothing but a melodica, a plastic recorder, and Mario Paint as the DAW.*

[PatrickPuszko]

"Cubase ... something I quite a-DAW"

[JesuisParte]

Let's face the real problems : Sideways shrunking shirts. We all know they suck !
